Zeng Guofan said: "Those who seek great things are the first priority." ”
Only with a big pattern can we stand tall, see far, and think deeply. Such people are often more likely to succeed.
It is not difficult to find that the more capable people are, the bigger the pattern, and in them, they usually have these three characteristics.
First, there are not many words
As the saying goes, "It's easy to know, but it's hard to say." ”
It may be very simple to be able to speak, but it is often difficult to keep your mouth, and knowing how to be silent appropriately not only reflects a person's cultivation, but also reveals a person's ability.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Chuzhuang ascended the throne, however, after he ascended the throne, he did not do anything for several years, nor did he communicate with officials about political affairs, and the ministers thought that King Chuzhuang had no intention of managing the affairs of the court, so they asked a question and wanted to euphemistically admonish King Chuzhuang.
The minister asked, "Why is there a big bird that has not flown for three years, has not chirped, and has been silent?"
When King Chuzhuang heard this, he immediately understood the worries of the ministers, and replied with a smile: "If you don't fly, you will soar into the sky; ”
After hearing this, the ministers finally let go of the big stone in their hearts, and soon after, King Chuzhuang suddenly exerted his strength, not only to remove a large number of scourge people in the palace, but also to promote many talented people.
In just one year, King Zhuang of Chu led the state of Chu and became one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
In fact, in the first few years of King Chuzhuang's accession to the throne, he did not often communicate with his ministers, not because he did not care about the government, but because he had insight into everything in silence and replaced words with actions.
There is a saying: "The water is silent, and the person is steady." ”
Indeed, the more capable people are, they are not able to speak the truth, but know when to say and when not to speak.
They tend to talk less and do more, and like to prove themselves with actions.
Second, do not delay
Tao Yuanming wrote in the poem: "If you don't come back in the middle of the year, it will be difficult to get back in the morning." Be diligent in time, and the years will not treat others. ”
The gist is to tell the world that time waits for no one, and no matter how simple things are, if they are delayed, they will be difficult to complete.
Only by grasping today's time and doing things diligently can we meet a bright future.
As the saying goes: "Success is done in diligence, and planning is not lazy." ”
If a person wants to achieve a career, he must keep "diligence" and avoid "laziness".
Mr. Lu Xun, a generation of literary giants, when he was studying, he carved a big word "morning" on his desk, he said, whenever he wants to be lazy, look at this word, remind himself not to procrastinate.
It is this word that has always inspired Lu Xun to work hard, do things practically, and do everything early, and in the end, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Lu Xun became the founder of modern literature and made many achievements.
Yes, only by paying attention to every day, not being lazy, and being willing to work hard, can we reap success bit by bit.
As the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world of diligence, and all the comforts in the world are earned by hard work day after day.
When you do things well, without procrastination or prevarication, gradually you will find that success is under your feet.
3. People don't do it
The most important thing in dealing with people is to learn to be a person first.
As the saying goes, life has a ruler, you need to have a degree, to be a man, to grasp the measure, to do things, to grasp the scale.
If a person wants to succeed, he must know how to grasp his own proportions, not be humble or arrogant, and put himself in the right position.
During the Warring States Period, there was a famous columnist Su Qin.
Since he was a child, he studied diligently and wanted to achieve something to change his fate, so he left his hometown to Qi and followed Guiguzi to learn the art of vertical and horizontal, and after studying for a period of time, Su Qin resolutely bid farewell to his teachers and friends, and began to travel the world, eager to seek fame and fortune.
When he complacently traveled around the world for a period of time, he found that he had gained nothing, so he had to go home in shame.
Later, after years of painstaking study, Su Qin finally succeeded in his studies and crisscrossed six countries.
A philosopher once said, "A man who cannot control himself is a ruined machine." ”
A person's life is a long period of self-cultivation, and in this world, you must know how to behave and do things accurately.
Only by knowing how to be square and round, and not being greedy or loving, can you control your emotions and control your life.
There is a good saying: "The gap between people is not in the rich and poor, in the ability, not in the talent, but in the pattern." ”
A person's pattern often determines the fate of a lifetime.
Only by not talking much, not procrastinating, and not doing things can we truly control our own destiny in our own hands.
